Every once in a while, we get an absolutely terrible product tipped to us by a shady manufacturer...that isn't even new. If the invention itself didn't naturally border on parody, there are plenty of telltale signs. Notice the lazy yet cheesy slogan, "You can always find something to clamp to!" Notice the lazy yet clearly made-up testimonials, "This is a "James Bond" gadget, wow!" (That helpful nugget of wisdom is attributed to Mr. Mario.)

But the ClamperPod isn't a parody, or even intended as parody. The ClamperPod is available for $16.95 on a site filled with other legitimately shoddy camera accessories. And then you realize the Internet is but a conglomerate of dreams, most of them pitiful.
